Rest In Peace- MONA DUFFY- BLOGGER AND FRIEND

Many of you probably knew
Mona Duffy.
She had a wonderful blog that 
she kept up for several years.
She was a beautiful soul.
She had an interesting life and 
some life struggles
like all of us do.

I am sad to say that she passed away
due to pancreatic cancer
early this morning.

I have not been blogging 
the last few days so I missed
the post from her son, Danny.

You can read it here

God Speed, Mona.
You will be missed.
I have many long, lovely emails 
from you that I cherish.
You were a very special lady
and I shall miss you dearly.

 If you are so inclined,
please say a little prayer for 
Mona's family---
or sent good, loving thoughts
their way.
Thanks!

    Mona, was a very special lady and I had the pleasure of meeting her. I drove to her home in Riverside, CA, met her and it was like seeing a old friend. We talked and talked. met Howard. She then took me to lunch at her son's restaurant. We sat outside on the patio and had a great salad and talked some more.

    We had been talking about getting together and one thing or another came up and we never got back together again. I will miss Sweet Mona. She is now with the love of her life, Pat and her daughter that she lost to cancer a couple years again. She also lost a son last fall and I believe her had a heart attack. Rest in Peace my dear friend.

    I don't think I knew her, but I think it's sweet she had friends/family to let everyone else on blog land know.

    I've been blogging so much that if you don't see me blog on a regular basis for more than a year with no goodbye, I'm probably dead.

    Diana, I have wondered about her, as I missed her blog posts. I saw the post from Danny, it broke my heart for her children. I only knew her thru blogging and I always enjoyed her . I will pray for Mona's family. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie

    Praying for Mona's family. Thank you for this, Diana. The world is full of heartache. In many cases we can do nothing but take these families before the Lord, who knows and loves them, and is their greatest source of comfort.

    God Bless Mona's family. I followed Mona's blog for many years, as did many of those of us that are veteran bloggers. She shared her love for family, thrifting and decorating and opened up her heart to all of us. We will miss our sweet Mona.
    Thank you for letting us know Diana and also to Marydon.

    hugs,

    How very sad. I did not know Mona but I do know that pancreatic cancer is possibly one of the worse kinds. My hubby's father died with it and just last week, we lost one of our former pastors with it. My heart goes out to her family and thank you for sharing, Diana.

    I hate reading post like this but it reminds us all that life is short and tomorrow is never promised. We are all human and will suffer such pain in our lifetime. Prayer is powerful healing. I pray the family finds peace and understanding during this sad time.
